Heat transfer methods — types?
Conduction, convection, radiation.
Conduction — mechanism?
Heat transfer through direct contact.
Convection — mechanism?
Heat transfer via fluid movement.
Radiation — mechanism?
Heat transfer via electromagnetic waves.
Surface heat absorption — dark surfaces?
Absorb more radiation, heat faster.
Surface heat reflection — light surfaces?
Reflect more radiation, stay cooler.
Electrical circuit — main component?
Power source (battery) drives current.
Conductors — example?
Copper, aluminium, metals.
Insulators — example?
Plastic, wool, cotton.
Electricity types — main?
Static and current electricity.
Current — definition?
Flow of electrons in a circuit.
Voltage — role?
Pushes electrons through the circuit.
Resistors — effect?
Limit or oppose current flow.
Real-world heat example — metal spoon?
Heat transfer via conduction from hot coffee.
